It's common to say “I see” when we understand something. And indeed, “seeing” in the Bible represents grasping and understanding spiritual things. So it makes sense that the eyes, which allow us to see, represent the intellect, which allows us to understand spiritual things. This can also be used in the negative, of course; the Bible speaks of people having eyes and refusing to see, and the Lord when He was in the world advised plucking out an offending eye. These represent a refusal to acknowledge truth, or being misled by falsity.

3557. Verses 21-23 And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near now, and I will feel you, my son, whether you are my son Esau, or not. And Jacob came near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, and the hands Esau's hands. And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like the hands of Esau his brother; and he blessed him.

'Isaac said to Jacob' means perception concerning this natural. 'Come near now, and I will feel you, my son' means inmost perception from its presence. 'Whether you are my son Esau, or not' means that it was not natural good. 'And Jacob came near to Isaac his father' means a state of being present. 'And he felt him' means complete perception from this. 'And said, The voice is Jacob's voice, and the hands Esau's hands' means that the understanding consists in this case of truth existing inwardly, while the will consists in this case of good existing outwardly, so that an inversion of order exists with them. 'And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like the hands of Esau his brother' means that from the will which occupied an external position he perceived that it was natural good. 'And he blessed him' means resulting conjunction
